In the centre of the garden, a medieval stone edifice envisioned as the king's castle today houses an herbarium. Ten public glasshouses provide a view into the plant life of arid deserts, lush rainforests, and tropical wetlands.

The Victoria cruziana (Santa Cruz water lily), which survived World War II bombardment and now dominates the brilliant and tropical Waterlily Room, is the glasshouses' main attraction. The lily pad may grow to be over two meters in diameter and can support the weight of an adult human. The enormous water lily is an annual plant that has survived the gloomy Finnish winter in the glasshouse on occasion. However, as Christmas approaches, the water lily withers, and the fresh seedling is put in the pond's bottom soil around March.
